Ed Moore, the fireman met with a distressing accident yesterday afternoon. He was exercising his horse on Monmouth, between Second and Third streets, when it became frightened and shied at another horse which was running away and lost his footing and fell on Moore's leg, breaking it at the n-- joint.

Moore was carried to the engine house where Dr. Phythian was contacted and after setting it, he was taken to the home of his mother on West Seventh street. Dr. Phythian says the break is a bad one and will confine Mr. Moore to his home for several months.
